What did you think of Matrix Reloaded?

[Sleuth]

Keanu isn't THAT bad you guys

[chainsmoking insomniac]

Yeah he is.

Keanu isn't THAT bad you guys

I think Keanu is perfect for this role, I read that Will Smith turned it down in order to make Wild Wild West (can you believe that?!), and also was turned down by Ewan McGregor.

As far as Reloaded, I'm on the 'It couldn't be better' side, I just loved it and have the highest hopes for Revolutions.

Ditto.   I have no love for Keanu in any role (save maybe for Speed, goddamnit if that movie ain't entertaining), but still can't think of anyone else for the role of Neo.  He owns it, top to bottom.  

Hate 'Reloaded' all you like, but can you honestly tell me that 'The Hulk' or 'CA2' or any other crap provided as many thrills or questions this summer?    

Revoultions is gonna rock the casbah, beware.

Keanu is perfect for Neo. It requires him to be a super hero, not specifically some great bullshit actor. Keanu has the look and charisma that is required of this role and seeing Keanu in the outfit and shades achieves the effect he is of a believable super hero that will fuck you over if you touch him.

Thrills, no. Questions, absolutely.

The Matrix Reloaded Hits DVD on October 14
Source: Variety  

Warner Home Video will release The Matrix Reloaded on DVD this October 14, three weeks before the third and final chapter in the trilogy, The Matrix Revolutions, is released in theaters.

The initial two-disc DVD will be loaded with extra features. The timing of the DVD release is designed to allow fans to see the movie again just before the third installment arrives in theaters.

The marketing for the "Reloaded" DVD will cross-promote the "Revolutions" theatrical release and Warner will promote the DVD in theaters showing "Revolutions."

Stay tuned tomorrow morning for the complete list of features that will be on the discs!

hooray! now i can get it for my birthday!

[picolas]

i love threads with happy endings..

I still think a perfect Neo woulda been John Cusack.  He's trained in kickboxing forever with world champion Benny the Jet Urquidze (the white dude who pounded Jackie Chan in Wheels on Meals and Dragons Forever), he can throw that "what?" look better than Keanu, and he can read.

Warner Home Video is today officially announcing the release of The Matrix: Reloaded on October 14th (SRP $29.95). The disc will be available in both anamorphic widescreen and full frame versions. Interestingly, early press information indicates that the disc will be available in an Amaray keep case rather than the typical Snapper packaging Warner is so fond of. Audio on the DVD will be available in English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 and English 2.0 Dolby Surround. Extras will include numerous documentary featurettes, including Preload (behind-the-scenes with the cast and crew), The Freeway Chase (a look at the making of the complex stunt sequence), Enter the Matrix (behind-the-scenes on the new videogame), What is the Amimatrix? (a promo for the animated companion DVD), The Matrix Unfolds (a look at the film "phenomenon") and Get Me an Exit (a look at design advertising inspired by the film), as well as DVD-ROM weblinks to the official site and the MTV Movie Awards spoof video. There may also be additional features TBA. Here's the final cover art for the disc:

Does this look like a Ghostbusters-worthy ghost to anyone else?

aw

[markums2k]

Ahem... I'll wait for the box set.  Hopefully they will include EVERYTHING.  Like, Revisited, and the Animatrix stuff, besides the movies.

I'm also reserving my purchase of the LOTR DVDs... just in case something special happens when they release all 3.

I heard that they wouldnt be re-releasing the films when TRotK comes to dvd in a set, so the extended editions would be the final releases of the films, but we all know how that goes.

[Filmfan-2]

I absolutely loved Reloaded!

Whilst it maybe lacked the initial awe of the first film, it's scope was on a par with it.

I think what threw most people was that it went off in a completely different direction as to what they had expected. Instead, we're taken inside the workings of the Matrix itself and presented with a "messiah" figure who doubts his own abilities.

Top stuff, and I can't wait for Revolutions! 8)
